Meet Heather Scott

Hi! I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor with the BCACC (#12112), providing counselling services in Vancouver.  I’ve been a Clinical Counsellor since 2015 and have worked in the field of mental health since 2009. Using a range of therapeutic modalities I provide trauma-focused therapy for adults, with the bulk of my practice focusing on the experience of cis & trans women.  

With me, you can expect a warm and inviting space, as well as an approach that’s gently challenging and sprinkled with humour. We will address your current challenges, explore deeper emotions, beliefs and disruptive patterns, experiment with new coping resources, and increase your sense of connection to yourself, your loved ones, and your community.  My work is guided by feminist and person-centred principles, meaning your resilience and strengths are always at the forefront of therapy. 

Personal and professional interests have driven me to complete additional post-graduate training in evidence-based modalities including: Complex Trauma Theory & Attachment Neuroscience, EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Mindful Self-Compassion, and First Responder Health.

As a survivor of complex trauma, I understand what it’s like to think and act like you have it all together yet feel deeply like something is missing.  I’ve experienced shame and fear that’s associated with reaching out for help.    You’re not alone and you don’t have to suffer in silence.  Let’s connect and thrive!
